Whist in Lancaster I visited the Museum and Art Gallery, there were a few artists that took my interest on the ground floor Shelley Rhodes had a few pieces of art displayed in the "From Where I'm Standing..." exhibition. Rhodes is a textile artist using scrap bits of fabric and distressing them before sewing them together. Using inks and dyes, she manipulates fabrics and mixed media to reflect her surroundings. Her work appears very delicate and distressed, I can work from this to influence samples and larger pieces of my own. Unfortunately I was only able to get one image of her work from the gallery, but have included some images of her work from online sources.
The second artist that caught my eye was Elizabeth Couzins-Scott, I wasnt able to get any images from the gallery as you werent allowed to take photographs. After further research I have found some different styles of work that Elizabeth creates. Her most recent collections use earthy colours and work with translucent fabrics and papers. It appears that she uses wax within her textile work. Looking back at her work from 2007 I remember be a part of a workshop she completed at the Whitworth Art Gallery, using nails and metal she creates some truly wonderful bags, all of her work is a bit eerie and I like that feel and could relate it to the same feeling within the brewery.
